Tea Party Convention: Another sponsor bites the dust

ORIGINAL POST: The Tea Party Convention, which is scheduled to bring Sarah Palin to the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, has lost another sponsor amid ongoing controversy about everything from ticket prices, to speaker fees, to media access. The NYT reports:

Philip Glass, the national director of the National Precinct Alliance, announced late Sunday night that “amid growing controversy” around the convention, his organization would no longer participate in the convention, or conduct the seminars it had planned there. The precinct alliance aims to take over the Republican party from the bottom up by filling the ranks of local and state parties with grassroots conservatives, and Mr. Glass had been scheduled to give workshops on its strategy.
